Ok, next command

Code:

sudo su

Then:

Code:

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

Then:

Code:

cp -f /mnt/etc/default/grub /etc/default

Code:

nano /etc/default/grub

There is a line like 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="bla bla bla..."
Append the words 'noapic noapci nosplash acpi=off' to the end inside the quotes in case
they are not there yet.

Then press 'Ctrl+o' and 'Ctrl+x'

Then command (still in the same console)

Code:

grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg; sleep 5; sync

Code:

cp -f /etc/default/grub /mnt/etc/default; sync

Code:

umount /mnt

Now reboot and let's hope it works without more editing - let's see

Forget my previous post. Just reboot, then choose the 'Safe mode' and apply the acpi=off there.

When you are in the actual LL, edit the file (as root) /etc/default/grub
and add the parameters which I suggested in the previous post into it. Save it and run 'update-grub' as root.

If everything goes fine, you don't need to apply safe mode or edit grub any more...

Let me know how it went

Thanks a lot kpanic for helping me out.
I did got a few minor issues like brightness and wifi were not working but  I managed to fix those things.
Everything went fine after that, booted into LL 4.0 did some customisation to my liking and everything seems to be smooth now.

Thanks.
